Fall Back Into Confusion
It’s that special time of year again — when we all gain an hour of sleep but lose ...
It's great that our local ministries are stepping up in a time when our government continues to fail the average citizen on a daily basis. Trump's Big Beautiful Shutdown is hitting Lincoln County hard. And wait until health insurance rates skyrocket or become unavailable. And, of course, he does not care about you or me or anyone else. We'll never step foot in that atrocious ballroom. All the money he's scamming in crypto and pocketing from the people with his tariffs could help SNAP. But he doesn't need your vote anymore to continue doing irreparable damage to our country. Embarrassing — but not unexpected — to see you carrying his water, Tom.
Typical lying brainwashed liberal you are ......you need to keep your head in that rear facing hole where it belongs. I don't see the shutdown hurting people that actually care to take care of themselves like my wife and I did for years as we stayed employed and actually worked for our money. We took nothing from the government like these entitlement queens and kings like yourself who can't seem to do without. It's constant begging and what else can I get for free?
Thanks for proving your ignorance, Barney. I'd expect nothing else. I take nothing from the government, either. But unlike you and your party, we care about all people. And if you've paid attention, the majority of people who need these benefits are from your party and voted for the big buffoon.
Is that the best you got? Pathetic response. I'm certainly not ignorant since I support the Republicans who actually do things for this country unlike your loser bunch of fools who do nothing but steal, lie, cheat, obstruct, demand and otherwise act like violent mercenaries and 3rd grade numbskulls when they don't get their way. Look at the losers you've supported lately ......at least Trump is accomplishing historic and beneficial things for this country. Have you left wing idiots ever thought about just stepping aside and letting the conservatives do their jobs? Untold success would be the norm if they would stop obstructing since it's obvious anything they attempt to do is total failure. Just check the facts Lenny ....you'll quickly see you're the ignorant one. Tell your "needy" folks to get off their butts and get a job, maybe including YOU ....we're tired of keeping them up!!!!!!!!! Of course you will come back with another weak response ....you libs are wired that way ....it's all you know ....stupidity and demanding the next thing that's free that I paid for.
Sorry, Barney, you lost me at: 1. "steal, lie, cheat, obstruct, demand and otherwise act like violent mercenaries and 3rd grade numbskulls when they don't get their way" ... You just described Jan. 6. 2. "accomplishing historic and beneficial things for this country" ... Yes! Everything is great these days. 3. "check the facts" ... I did. You should try it.
Jan 6? Were you there? Hell NO!!!!! Do you have any idea about what actually happened? The real truth? No, I didn't think so and don't even think of trying to have me believe anything that comes out of YOUR lying news media or your sick pie hole. Everything is great Lenny, even though YOU would never admit the truth about it. You are just a victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome or whatever they call it. You're stuck with it and it's fried that tiny warped brain of yours. We still have some recovering to do from the 25 million illegal criminals, mental cases, perverts and pedophiles that pathetic ol' joe let in that are stealing us blind. But you loser liberals tend to overlook all that and deny that the economy is booming. We are getting rid of these leeches from south of the border and the market is setting records weekly. My investments are skyrocketing because of the Trump policies. If you dumbazz dems would step aside, shut up, and quit obstructing things would really take off and you idiots could really let your childish jealousy consume what's left of your pea sized brains. Your next response will prove for eternity that you are one of the top of the heap fools in this county. Bet on it!!!!!!!
Barney, calm down, man. I don't want you have an aneurysm or heart attack. You make your hate clear. Again, it's difficult to have a back-and-forth with election deniers and people who say things like "what actually happened" on Jan. 6. I get it, you love you some trump. I'll back off so you can have some privacy.
I don't hate, I just despise stupidity and ineptness which you are full of. You libs love to throw out that word "hate" when, as the truth comes out .....you are the chief haters. You are the ones who kill babies, admit illegals across our borders to steal, murder and rape our society, tear down and burn our flags and history, promote perverted gender confusion and unnatural sexual deviation to our youth, hate our law enforcement, start wars, and allow uncontrolled inflation to destroy our economy. That's real hate. As far as Trump is concerned, I'll admit there are days when I could do without his rhetoric but they are few. I just support in totality what he and the conservatives do for MY country. You should be thankful also if you could see past your jealousy and TDS affliction. Backing off is the best thing you can do since you know you're wrong and can sense defeat. You libs are so used to being losers aren't you? That's been you're standard for decades. Go back in your hole and enjoy your insignificant and useless life Lenny .....something you're good at
You can’t outrun ignorance, when one refuses to learn, nor stupidity on any level. Starvation isn’t liberal or conservative, democrat or republican, red nor blue. Approximately 39% of SNAP recipients are children, who are not old enough to work. Approximately 20% of SNAP recipients are elderly, and either cannot work, or cannot earn enough money working to pay for housing, medication, and utilities, and have enough leftover to pay for food. Approximately 10% of non-elderly SNAP recipients are disabled, and not physically or mentally well enough to work. 4 out of 5 SNAP households include a child, an elderly person, or a non-elderly person with a disability. Even though I could easily bring Christianity into my comment I won’t, because if one doesn’t feel compassion for people, one certainly won’t feel conviction from the teachings of Christ. When one’s heart is filled full of anger and hatred, there is no room for compassion or love.
Well said, Sheila. It's care or don't care.
Our government and the democratic party has made it too easy for a large portion of your numbers to exist .....if they actually do. Put the blame where it belongs .....at the feet of the brainwashing socialists in the democratic party who allow the thieves into the well meaning programs for the real poverty folks. Yes, there are the truly needy out there but compassion should also be in the minds and hearts of those who commit fraud and steal benefits from those that truly need them. They exist too, in big numbers ....go dig up some data about them or are you just going to side with the fraudsters that think it's my duty to take care of them simply because they are lazy? Most of us have had the chance to do something with our lives and make sure we take care of ourselves. Lots of people don't and take the road of entitlement. Hey, I've volunteered my time after work at food banks before. Not for long though. It was easy to see the fraud going on .....people taking advantage of free food driving nice new $35,000 cars, with expensive cell phones and high dollar fashionable fingernail set ups. Who's fooling who?
Nah... he's not affiliated!! Don't let him out to re-offend!!
Eric, I would say a couple of things to your column: 1. How about we not leave the political speeches to the news networks? That's where we should get our news. Not a place we should be told what our opinion should be. 2. And the obvious point: The president makes it too easy for our late-night hosts — and literally everyone else on the planet — to be made fun of. Not a day goes by when he doesn't say or do something incredibly laughable. Comedians would not be doing their job if they passes on the spoon-fed material.
You make some good points Lenny. Absolutely. Be well.
Classic way to destroy a person's reputation, no matter the truth, the accusations destroy the person's name. Even if they are innocent.
Haul the suspects in already mentioned who lived in Shelby, running the rest homes. Their children know more, and previous articles have more bite of evidence. The Dad lawyered up, and then the story went away again. Someone is getting paid off!
